I think this is the best answer.

I figure Funky and Swanky are DK clones Cranky whipped up in his potions lab imbued with the essences of funk and swank respectively.
My new favorite theory

The only Pokemon I've ever really wanted in the series like at a base level was Dragonite because Dragonite is best dragon. That and it's First Movie appearance was this weird level of adorkable for me.
My man! Dragonite is the best dragon by far. He's awesome and adorable at the same time and I love him <3
I was a little leery when I first heard Cranky would be playable in DK:TF, but I thought the Scrooge McDuck-style pogo cane was brilliant once I saw it in action. I'd totally be down with Cranky in Smash.
Will make this a priority! Still have real-life work to take care of first, but I'll make this happen.

I think Dixie is easily more popular than K. Rool overall, but I think for the purpose of the poll K. Rool is more desired since he checks off more things people want, such as a heavy character, a villain, etc.
Plus, I always thought Dixie seemed like a very likely DLC choice way before the poll began...why I didn't bother voting for her...I imagine a lot of her supporters might feel this way and chose other characters with less of a chance to vote for over someone who seemed like she already had a good chance.

That was actually supposed to be Magnemite, but it was due to a trolling thing. They did recognize it though (see the intro of Gengar's vid).

While nobody was looking, Gonzo voted for K. Rool forty times.
He voted forty times.
That's as many as four tens...

Why bother? We have Google Translate!
Seriously, though, I'm wondering what was actually being said here. Did we actually have hints regarding Wii Fit Trainer's inclusion? Do we have hints about upcoming characters now? Can I assume that Mach Rider is confirmed?

K. Rool or Dixie, I'd be happy getting either. I just want another DK character.

Toon Link is best Link though
The DK 64 instruction manual had Cranky call Diddy his "newphew wannabe"
Actually the DK 64 instruction manual is Cranky Kong gold.

I honestly wonder how much money this could make. $1 to remove any character from your game an $1 to add them back. You could target indecisive whales.

I just saw a message when I turned smash 4 on.
Mewtwo Uses Now Available!
It's Super Effective!
I'm very curious what kind of message Lucas would get, and would Lucas get released before E3 or after?

Not really though, since other people would still be able to play the characters I want gone. >:[

So much for coming in here and putting down my thoughts on Ryu for what I think he'll have. :c
---------------------------------------------------
Edit:
Changes
Nair - Medium Kick (air) instead of Light Punch (air)
Fair - High Punch (air) instead of Medium Kick (air)
Jab - Light Punch, Medium Kick (close), Heavy Punch
Up Smash - Crouching High Punch instead of Collarbone Breaker (That doesn't even make sense)
Forward Tilt - Collarbone Breaker (Foward Medium Punch) instead of Senpuu Kyaku (Forward Medium Kick; CvS2 Ryu)
Shin Shoryuken to EX Shoryuken

You know, I'm glad I grew up before DLC really took off...
I mean, I imagine it's quite hard to convince your parents to use their credit card so you can buy 1 character.

Whoa, I really like those art style. It gave me Super Strikers vibe (maybe Street Fighter 4 too)

CHESUTOOOOOOOOOO!
I know Smash 4 doesn't support dual audio, which sucks because Japanese Ryu > Dub Ryu.
Considering the likelihood of a playable Ryu drawing heavily from SF2 as opposed to more recent sources, it's possible that he'll use exact copies of the SNES voice clips.

Pretty positive it'll be Japanese voiced Ryu.

I remember seeing some Smash art that had a "Mario Strikers" feel to it.
Speaking of which, I'd love to see a Strikers costume for Peach, fighting in a dress can't be comfortable/practical.

they only do that if there's no modern equivalent (see: Pacman (GA doesn't count) and Megaman)
And SNES Ryu doesn't have CHESUTOOOO!

Yea, I've been thinking about that too. I would have had a hard time getting the money to buy the DLC, let alone get both versions of the game, I would have had to pick between the two.
The blue-eyed Pacman design being treated as the standard for crossovers (appearing in SFxT, one of the arcade Mario Karts and Hot Shots Golf) makes the use of his older design seem like a more deliberate choice - ignoring the updated New Leaf Villager may have also been a decision with similar motivations. The Ryu victory fanfare being a direct rip also may be indicative of him being a deliberately retro character; not even Duck Hunt Duo or Mr. Game & Watch used unarranged rips for their fanfares.
It's actually their son; who'd likely be Priam's grandfather. The second season of Fire Emblem if DLC will probably go into further detail, with the plotline climaxing in Valbar's arcade ending for Capcom vs. Nintendo.

Still I'd be disappointed if they use SNES voice clips. Retro they are, they're kinda... eh.
Same, hopefully they give him a more modern voice. Them just using retro voice clips would come off as lazy. Even SF4, UMvC3, or SFxT voice clips would be better. Basically I want Kyle Hebert to come back as English Ryu.

Smash I think generally picks the most iconic appearance of a character, unless the newer design is just a refined version of the older design (Olimar) or there's a reason to change it for consistency sake (Zelda characters).
The big exception to this are characters who had never been in 3D before. Characters like Duck Hunt, Pit and Ice Climbers aren't terribly faithful to their original iconic appearances, but that's mostly because they never got to be in 3D.
And there's also oddballs like Bowser who used a more Mario 3/World appearance in Melee instead of SM64, and Yoshi who didn't really know if he wanted to be from Mario World or Yoshi's Story until Smash 4, but those types of strangeness in design are not common.

By that logic they would have gone with Classic Sonic, unless Modern Sonic falls under the refined version of an older design category.
Considering that the reason why sonic's alt colors are all pretty much is because apparently SEGA asked them too, its quite possible they also dictated what appearance Sonic should have in the game, he is a third party after all.

Modern Sonic is more iconic.

Off topic, but IntelliHeath asked me to drop this in the thread.
Not totally happy with all the translations, but I pulled out some new information from Shigesato Itoi's interview with the Smash 64 team.
(Some of these are probably already known).
Key points:
The color was adjusted to Sakurai's personal monitor. However, because each screen displays the colors differently, they got some colors wrong.
There is a cut "Time Attack" / "Racing Mode". He expresses interest in making a racing game.
The original plan drew inspiration from Pirates of the Caribbean (the ride). However, he didn't like the idea of destroying people's names.
After Sakurai's friend played Smash throughout the night, he felt like the development of Smash was worth it.
Also, if you know Japanese and want to help with translations, I have a ton of Sakurai's Famitsu articles which have never been talked about.

Which is why Bowser needed to wait until Melee, and Wario and Dedede needed to wait 2 games to get in while Mewtwo has an on again off again relationship with Smash.
Itoi doing the interview is funny too, since Smash is a huge reason anyone even knows he makes games lol. Mother is super spoiled in Smash.
